The Bronze Bomber made light work of opponent Dominic Breazeale in New York on Saturday, knocking him out in the first round to retain his WBC Heavyweight title.

Out of Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury ... who does all-time heavyweight great Lennox Lewis think would've given him the absolute TOUGHEST fight?

Speaking on the Joe Rogan podcast, the 53-year-old said: “Well you know, I told people that I'd take my pyjamas off for a hundred mill (£76m). “So if you're serious - come with it baby, show me the paper.” Acknowledging his American opponent’s troubled past, Lewis added: "I looked at Tyson's history, he's coming from the same history that I'm coming from and he spent some time incarceration. "While he was incarceration I'm still out there fighting and training hard, he didn't have that in there so when he came out it was like training again doing what he knows not what he loves, that's going to make him some money - that's going to put … [Read more...] about Lennox Lewis calls out Mike Tyson for $100m rematch
